200 yards zero. 3500 fps varget, and 60 gr BT Nosler. My T/C 22/250 24" 1x12 twist. Redfield 4X12x40 scope on 6 power.
At 100 the specks say 1.3" high I find mine is about 1.5" and a half inch group.
200 Yards I am right at dead zero and a bit smaller then an inch group.
At 300 yards the listed velocity is 2500 fps.
The chart says 5.5" low.
On 12 power on the Redfield holding dead center I'm getting center of a 2.5" group 5.25" low.
Lowest of the 4 shot string was around 6 1/2" low.
 Highest was 4" low.
Maybe I would miss a coyote standing broadside with a dead center hold.
But if I held an inch or two high it should still be dead.
I did not confirmed any farther to far to walk and after 12 shot I hate to waste anymore resources "testing" on paper. I'll save those bullets for testing on coyotes.
 My chart says at 350 I'll be 10 low
400 -17"
450 -25"
and 500 yards -35and still 1900 fps.

Not a lot of difference than my Berger loads and a 52 gr bullet.
I was concerned the heaver ( longer ) bullet may not stabilize. It shows no sigh of wobbling out to 300 yards.
I have some 62 BT that concern me too I'll have to try them.

Sounds good to me.

Remembe those chart/graphs are just estimates at best.  but your numbers sound close to expected.

When I eyeball a critter at anything ove 250 yards, I know it is a long way off and brain (when working) adds some holdover automatically.

My 6.5-08 is sighted in to be on at 200 and 9" low at 300 yards.  This year I shot at a lazered 201 yds to an antelope.  Hit about 1" from my hold-point.  at 300 yards I hold the horizontal x-hair on the spine.  over that it is chesk the laser and my drop chart.
